thanks--im not sure how to do that i guess thats why i went with absolute positioning.. any suggestions re tutorials.. i know i can google but better to pointed by the experienced (im not a newbie but css is not my strongest arm

do you know what causes that? something to do with the jquery slideshow maybe?

and finally ..im trying to get the background to fade to grey and the header (mast and nav bar) and footer (share and like buttons) to appear to slide into the position of the link page (HIT REEL) on any click using jquery or even spry -- any ideas?

and ill take this chance to thank you for all the help over the past few years.. i learned jquery and a lot of css because of you!!
